Anyone know much about the efficacy of the flu part of it? Says it’s more effective than existing ones but is this the revolutionary flu shot that takes us out of the yearly flu vaccine rat race or not that far yet?
It works as well as existing flu shots, which rely of an educated guess on which flu strain will hit NA in the fall. This dual vaccine is just convenient.

A full cohort study would have to be made to attest to that. But guessing from the efficacies of the corona vax, probably not a drastic difference.
Not a chance. As the flu virus mutates every so often, new vaccines will have to be made to adapt to the current epidemiology. It is a circular race.
